The Blood Pit

Meh. Your average, formulaic paperback mystery. someone is murdered in a gruesome and ridiculous way. The cop (with the marital issues/drinking problem) and their brainy sidekick (i.e. the psychiatrist/archaeologist/professor) has to help them sort it out. Some people are suspected. There's a seemingly unrelated crime also afoot. Red herrings pop up. The usual.  

In the end, it the killer didn't even turn out to be anyone interesting.  for a guilty pleasure, not very pleasurable.  1 chain smoking, grizzled chief inspector out of 5.
